Mara Kanté
French soccer player, wrongly jailed after 2007 riots, trying to get life back on course
Mara Kanté, a French Muslim soccer player, found himself in jail for nearly two years after an anonymous witness claimed he saw Kanté firing a gun during riots in largely Muslim suburbs back in 2007. The witness eventually recanted, and Kanté was freed, but he’s still trying to pick up the pieces.
